INTRODUCTION
A feasibility study assesses the operational, technical and economic merits
of the proposed project. The feasibility study is intended to be a
preliminary review of the facts to see if it is worthy of proceeding to the
analysis phase. From the systems analyst's perspective, the feasibility
analysis is the primary tool for recommending whether to proceed to the
next phase or discontinue the project.

The feasibility study is a management-oriented activity. The objective of a


feasibility study is to find out if an information system project can be done
and to suggest possible alternative solutions.

Scope

The scope of a feasibility report for a library management system would


typically include an analysis of the technical, economic, and operational
aspects of implementing such a system. This might involve examining the
potential benefits of a library management system, such as increased
efficiency, improved user experience, and better data management. It
would also entail an assessment of the costs associated with developing
and deploying the system, including hardware and software expenses,
staffing needs, and ongoing maintenance and support.

Various Aspects of Feasibility

1. Operational feasibility
2. Technical feasibility
3. Economic feasibility
4. Time feasibility

Operational feasibility

Operational feasibility refers to the extent to which a proposed


system, such as a library management system, can be successfully
integrated into an organization's existing operations and processes. In
the context of a library management system, operational feasibility
would involve assessing whether the system can effectively support
the library's day-to-day activities and meet the needs of its users.

Technical feasibility

Technical feasibility refers to the ability of a proposed system, such as


a library management system, to be developed and implemented using
available technology and resources. In the context of a library
management system, technical feasibility would involve assessing
whether the system can be developed using existing hardware and
software resources and whether it can be integrated with other library
technologies.

Here are some bullet points summarizing the technical feasibility of a


library management system:

1. Technical feasibility involves evaluating whether a library


management system can be developed and implemented using
available technology and resources.
2. This would include assessing the compatibility of the system
with existing hardware and software resources, such as servers,
networks, and databases.
3. It would also involve evaluating the system's scalability and
ability to handle the library's current and future data storage and
processing needs.
4. Other technical considerations could include data security and
backup requirements, as well as compliance with industry
standards and regulations.
5. The technical feasibility of a library management system would
depend on the resources available for development and
implementation, as well as the expertise and experience of the
development team.
Economic feasibility

Economic feasibility refers to the extent to which a proposed library


management system is financially viable and cost-effective. It
involves assessing the costs and benefits associated with
implementing the system and determining whether the potential
benefits outweigh the costs.

Here are some key points to consider when evaluating the economic
feasibility of a library management system:

1. The costs of implementing a library management system include


hardware and software expenses, staff training and hiring, and
ongoing maintenance and support costs.
2. Benefits of a library management system may include increased
efficiency, improved user experience, better data management,
and cost savings over time.
3. It is important to conduct a cost-benefit analysis to determine
whether the potential benefits of the system justify the costs.
4. Other economic factors that could impact the feasibility of a
library management system include available funding and
budget constraints, the library's strategic priorities and goals,
and potential return on investment.
5. It may be necessary to consider different implementation
options, such as phased deployment or outsourcing, to reduce
costs and increase economic feasibility.

Time feasibility

Time feasibility refers to the extent to which a proposed project or


system, such as a library management system, can be completed
within a specified timeframe. In the context of a library management
system, time feasibility would involve assessing whether the system
can be implemented and deployed within a reasonable time.

1. Time feasibility refers to whether a library management system


can be implemented and deployed within a reasonable
timeframe.
2. Factors that could impact time feasibility include the size and
complexity of the library, the scope of the system, and the
availability of resources such as funding, personnel, and
technical infrastructure.
3. The availability of development and implementation resources,
such as software developers, project managers, and technical
support staff can impact time feasibility.
4. Developing a project timeline and identifying potential risks or
delays can help ensure the project stays on track and is
completed within the desired timeframe.
5. Time feasibility is an important consideration, but it should not
be the only factor considered when evaluating the feasibility of a
library management system.

CONCLUSION
The Library Management system is the need of the day. However, one has
to think of the investment and its technical and social aspects. Technically
it is feasible to get the required hardware, software and a person with a
complete understanding of the requirements to develop a software
package. The library management system will relieve the existing
professional staff from their routine clerical activities to enable them to
perform intellectual professional duties.
